Brandon Sanderson is a genius.

Raw Concrete: The Beauty of Brutalism churns your heart into a new vision over brutalism and its dialogue. Intrinsically rooted with Britain's culture, Barnabas' writing showed me a new appreciation for the art. Highly recommend this book for any architecture aficionado and those curious about brutalism. 10/10

I didn't know what to expect, this was my first Le Guin book and still I am left wanting for more. The Dispossessed is one of many works that will leave you thinking for decads (heh) on end. I still have to digest, and will expand my review later. Until then, I have to think over some things, but I am sure that his one is a five star book, incredible direction. The pacing may feel slow and even confusing at first, but much like one of Shevek's realizations, the truth of its world gradually settles into place as you come to understand its people, its language, and its ideas.

Magnific. Just plainly magnific. I have no words that can properly express the grandeur of Roadside Picnic. Please do yourself a favor and read it, trust me.
